| - Ordered a few items to share among a family of 6 adults.
Seafood hot pot, $25.99
Jajiangmyeon (black bean noodle soup), $15.99
Japchae, $15.99
Seafood green onion pancake, about $15
The noodle dishes:
Both noodle dishes were probably the best tasting I've ever had. Flavours was just right, especially the ja jiang myeon sauce because it wasn't too salty like some places does it. I also really like the texture of the ja jiang myeon noodle; Not sure if they make this noodle in-house (walked by the back kitchen and saw hands working a large container of flour), but it is really smooth and chewy.
The seafood green onion pancake was good, but not sure if it's worth the price.
The seafood hot pot. I do appreciate fresh fish and certainly don't even normally mind eating Chinese steamed whole fish with bones and all, but the fish bones in this dish was too much. The fishes here did tasted fresh, at least not fishy, but there were too much small, microscopic bones on these things, making them very hazardous to eat. The bones were tiny and short like on sardines, but they weren't soft enough to swallow like sardines, and was very annoying to go through. Aside from the bony fish meats, there were a good bunch of small clams and tofu. The soup was very orange in colour and of adequate spice level, but lack much seafood taste in itself. I didn't think it was worth $26.
Overall, I like the noodle dishes but didn't think they are worth the price of about $15 each. Ja jiang myeon didn't use any meat or seafood and I thought $15 is a bit much for plain noodles and sauce. Japchae had a tiny barely visible trace of beef mostly peppers and noodle, not worth $15 either. I would rather the dish be cut in half along with the price and that way people, especially smaller group or a couple can leave room to try other things.
Seems like the combos with beer are good and this would be a good place to come if you are a group of 6 or more. Otherwise, the price and dish sizes are not exactly made for dinner for 2, or allow room to share and try much more dishes.
Taste ok but not good value. On the fence about returning.
